I've connected my I-Pod nano to my computer but I-tunes doesn't recognise it and sad :An iPod has been detected but could not be identified

Try the following document:

iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod 'could not be identified properly'

I tried the suggested workaround still not recognized.

I thought my nano was too old so I bought a new one :-(

I'm having this issue as well.

Just bought a ****-ton of music, tried to download and sync, but my 2 ipods are not recognized. I cannot sync, detect, or charge anything.

2 ipods, 2 cables, used 2 PCs, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, contacted Apple several times and nothing.

Would be nice to get a warning that something isn't working before you purchase.
